Innovative off-road electric vehicle
manufacturer brings trailblazing snowmobiles to the Nordics
SÄLEN, Sweden, April 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ - Taiga Motors Corporation (Taiga)
(TSX: TAIG), a leading electric off-road vehicle manufacturer,
today debuted its snowmobiles at SkiStar, the leading operator in
alpine mountain tourism in Scandinavia, at its resort in Sälen,
Sweden. After the company's
milestone deliveries in March, this European unveiling marks
another significant landmark for the electric powersports
manufacturer. This is an important step in Taiga's global expansion
aspirations, whose product line innovation began with electrifying
the snowmobile, one of the most challenging vehicles in the
off-road segment. For SkiStar, it is an important next step in its
sustainability transformation to have a net-zero climate impact
from an operations standpoint by 2030.
"Sweden continues to be a
global pioneer in electrification and sustainable solutions. It's
only a natural decision for us to debut our Nomad snowmobile in
Europe at SkiStar in Sälen," said
Taiga CEO Sam Bruneau.
"We're excited for the SkiStar team to experience these two
revolutionary machines, while also bolstering our mission in
providing an electric snowmobile that does not compromise on
performance, while also preserving the environment."
"Protecting the unique mountain environment in which SkiStar
operates is fundamental for the sustainable development of our
business. We therefore recognized Taiga's innovation in the
off-road space early on and are excited for them to debut their
sleds here at SkiStar," said Fanny Sjödin, Head of
Sustainability at SkiStar. "Low emissions, good performance and
a vast improvement on the snowmobiles environmental impact, has
encouraged us to choose Taiga's electric snowmobiles for use by ski
patrol and other mountain operations."
Taiga snowmobiles allow outdoor enthusiasts to consciously
explore winter terrains without compromising performance, noise,
reliability, and efficiency. Leveraging a clean sheet design and
mechanically simplified snowmobile platform, Nomad delivers
optimised functionality for work-related tasks, family outings, or
trail riding. No powertrain maintenance, customizable drive
parameters and hyper-precise throttle control contribute to Nomad's
ease of use and approachability. Bringing peak performance in all
conditions and standard automotive charging, Taiga is setting the
standard for durability and reliability in electric
snowmobiles.
